I'm in this same boat - financially, trading in and spending $400 for a brand new phone, makes a ton of sense. But losing the s pen functionality, even though I never used it!, and the very minor upgrade (I mean, the phone is fast enough!) where it is all AI and likely coming to my phone soon...

I really probably should upgrade- I mean, from the financial aspect of being able to buy this year’s model for a trade in (I have the s24 Ultra) and $400. But, besides being loathe to spend $400, I’m also trying to be more environmentally conscientious . At this point, everything is ‘fast...

I read they dropped this to get the phone thinner. I think skipping this update. I need to be more mindful of my impact on consumption. Any of these recent phones are powerful enough, and I suspect we’ll get the ai stuff in an update. I want sustainability. And i don’t use the pen that much, and...

it's not disabling a great device, it's about getting the most of the great device that I want, which is battery life!

Tremendous battery life, I think. I went to pick up my son at college yesterday- he is an hour a way. I went at 12:30pm with 100% battery - GPS there and back. Max screen settings, not plugged in. Home. Went out again and GPS there- just a short drive. And when I got home around 8pm, it was like...

I kinda wish I had gotten orange. I got violet. When I opened the box, it looked black.

and now just like that, UPS has managed to get the package over to EWR and down to my regional center for delivery today. I am super impressed.

I’ve thought about selling my 24 ultra that is on the way. I have a credit of $600 from my 20 note and whatever discounts/incentives- not sure what the math would be- but kinda think it would need to be $1000+ for it to make sense for me, if you think the note 20 is ‘free money.’

So when UPS updated with delivery information, it was Feb 1, not 31 as Samsung had.

I had ordered 5pm the 17th - original date was jan 31- that was pushed back to feb 1 on Sunday, and just now I got an update that the order is shipping, ups, with delivery on 31. UPS does not have an update yet- so I am still doubtful that I will get it on the 31st - this week would be great!

so I read that Samsung reported outstanding #'s for pre order- which is probably why some of us are seeing delays. My status still says the phone is going to be delivered Feb 1, which I find hard to believe if there is no movement and I can seemingly still cancel the order.

It’s a day for right now - I am expecting it to go back further simply because. I’ve got violet ultra 512- what did you order? Wondering if there are differences in color & storage combos.

And just like that, I check Samsung.com for my order status, and it's now pushed back to Feb 1.

I ordered at 5pm on the 17th and didn’t even think of checking until I started to dig into this thread- then I check every so often, and like you- no movement. And it is supposed to be delivered on the 31st- which would mean things would have to move exceeding fast relatively speaking for it to...
